Yahoo had a great article on global warming with a lot of information. Basically, the rest of the world wants to lower emissions, but the U.S. thinks a strong economy with new technologies is the way to go. People are saying the U.S. is isolated in its ideas, but U.S. representatives deny that.

One of the most important parts of the article mentions “scientific reports demonstrating the world needs to limit the increase in global temperatures to 3.6 degrees above what they were before the world industrialized and started spewing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, or face the worst environmental, social and economic impact of climate change.”

That really made me understand how much research and intent has gone into the global warming movement. Before all this started, people would just say, “It’s hot.” Now we’re dealing with average global temperatures, and we’re keeping track of what we do and how it impacts the world.

The article also mentioned how many believe “the Bush administration is seriously out of step with the U.S. public’s serious concerns about global warming and willingness to do something about it.”

That makes so much sense. It feels like we’re all ready, and we’re just waiting for instructions on how to fix things.
